This tender poetic text is garnished with intricate line drawings depicting the natural world, abstracted anatomy, and yoga postures. Heart Rooted in Sky is about letting life crack you open and finding new ways to be. At its essence, this is a story of yoga, for it is a story of transformation. A woman stands at the trailhead of a dark woodland passage. It is a path that many avoid. On her journey she begins to take notice of the world around her and asks, “What is really here?� As the woman inquires into her environment, body, breath, and thoughts, she sheds her habitual behaviours, resentment, and stories of identity. By doing so, she transforms and opens to life as it unfolds. She learns to move from fear towards love.

A beautifully illustrated book exploring a unique take on Venice for curious travellers, lovers of history, art, architecture, and the environmentally sensitive. This book also conveys a pervasive message of deep environmental and climactic concerns and the tragedy of how a Renaissance Empire has been turned into a contemporary amusement park. A Sketch of Venetian History will enchant, educate, and challenge readers. This book offers a unique portrait of Venice and weaves together many diverse subjects—art, ecology, travel, history, all enriched by original line drawings of a unique style found on every page. A Sketch of Venetian History illuminates the Venetian Republic’s history through six major eras—from its early ecological formations, through its modest beginnings, to the height and potency of the Grand Republic, to its collapse, and to its modern day challenges posed by environmentalism and massive tourism.
